Thermal Analysis of Disc Brake

Problem Statement

Disc used in Passenger car Brake Application and Determine the temperature distribution across the disc. Assume it is having natural convection h = 10 W/m2.K and material as cast Iron. Temperature applied on the Pad contact region is 300 deg.C

Geometry

Generated Mesh

Total Elements: 648020
Total Nodes: 129032

Boundary Conditions

Results

The minimum temperature in the brake is 175.42oC.

The grid independence test has been done to check if there is too much variation in the solution after changing the mesh number.
